I'm very excited about Grimm, but in that slot after something like Chuck it's going to do well to actually air all the initial order. I'll take what Greenwalt I can get, I guess.

The comedies all sound wretched. I'm pissed they canned Outsourced for this shit.

Sheesh. Why waste this show on NBC then? :hscratch: Even more reason to wait on the DVD if it survives, which I can't imagine it will.

I don't like him because he has zero charisma as an actor..and he's pretty darn crazy for going with the ultra-not-good-looking Leann Rimes.

If you've seen Hellcats on The CW, this was the original actor cast in Cibrian's role on Playboy Club. Jeff Hephner. Apparently he bombed at the Pilot table read and was immediately replaced.

I'm disappointed that NBC didn't cut actual trailers for these new shows. All I see on their site and others is these scene clips, which really do nothing for me is getting a feel for what the show is about.

Looks like just Parenthood, Community and Football for me.

Despite that blurb about this being the final season of Chuck and the boot to Friday's... looking at that schedule, chances of a full season look promising. :lol:

Re: NBC's Fall 2011 Schedule
 
This schedule is obviously catering more towards female audiences than men. I see there is quite a few new female-centered shows. I think NBC's new President is trying for the most part to play it safe, especially with Comcast taking over. I know the message board fans like us probably aren't happy since there isn't any geeky heavily serialized science fiction or action shows. But, can anyone blame him? All the serialized action, science fiction and procedurals from this past season failed and some badly. I think he had no choice, but to go in a different direction. The most expensive show appears to be The Playboy Club since it's a period drama. Awake seems to be the only new drama that could get some male action viewers, however it's not even on the schedule yet.

But, hey it's still better than this piece of shit schedule:

Funny to see so many shows that were shitcanned.

MrSmearkase 05-15-11 08:41 PM

Re: NBC Announces Fall 2011-12 Schedule
 
/\ I kind of hope not. I like Chuck a lot, but it seems as though the show works better when they have a conclusion mapped out. I afraid that a last-minute back-9 pickup would result in spinning the tires for those final episodes. I'd prefer to see it go out strong and focused.

From http://www.tvline.com/2011/05/nbc-fa...er-woman-svu/:


TVLine: You only ordered 13 episodes of Chuck. Any chance you’ll increase that number?

NBC prez Bob Greenblatt: I don’t think so. Unless suddenly we have 10 million viewers watching it on Friday night, then it would.
I think that's a good thing, though: knowing precisely how long the runway is and being able to plan for that. The past couple of seasons have been dragged down at least in part by not knowing where the cutoff point is, exactly.

Gizmo 05-15-11 08:53 PM

Re: NBC Announces Fall 2011-12 Schedule
 
Well, if they (about the back 9) know when filming around episode 8-9, they could easily create/alter the arc. Whatever. 13 episodes is fine with me. Ready for this one to be over.

Hmmm. Awake sounds promising as does Grimm.

Patman 05-15-11 09:33 PM

Re: NBC's Fall 2011 Schedule
 
Wow, what a crap schedule for NBC, I guess I'll be able to avoid about 85% of their schedule.

sleepyhead55 05-15-11 09:49 PM

Re: NBC's Fall 2011 Schedule
 
I'll probably watch football, SVU (on occasion), Grimm and Awake. I'm curious as to how Grimm stacks up to the ABC show Once Upon a Time.

This is some Fox circa-1991 shit. Is NBC ever going to get it together again?

PopcornTreeCt 05-15-11 09:54 PM

I'm interested in seeing how Whitney Cummings show. They are definitely giving her a good chance on Thursday night. We'll see.

wmansir 05-15-11 11:10 PM

Re: NBC's Fall 2011 Schedule
 
Gut reaction is that Awake sounds too weird to succeed on network TV. I'm thinking Journeymen or Life on Mars.

Bill Needle 05-15-11 11:20 PM

Football, SNL, The Office, and nothing else!

Awake sounds completely absurd. I can't wait to see it.

I agree with both of you, I just think if everything slated for the fall fails(this IS NBC after all), having a familiar face on the schedule might seem more attractive than an entire new slate of shows in January. I'm fine with the 13, I just wouldn't be surprised if they pull another 9 out of the hat.

I've seen the UK version of Prime Suspect so I'll give this one a shot.
